The suspects are all black men -- one believed to be age 20-25 and the other two 30-35 years old.

The incident comes less than a week after a 15-year-old was shot and killed allegedly trying to burglarize a home near Gravois Park. His suspected accomplice in the break-in, a 17-year-old Michael Bryant, is now facing second-degree murder charges.

In Missouri, people are allowed to use deadly force against intruders.
